This theme will display the current U.S. Department of Homeland Security Advisory System's threat level. This may be useful for certain people or organizations such as local government and law enforcement. Please feel free to offer suggestions for improvements to the software.
For more information about the Advisory System: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?theme=29
Note: The theme no longer requires the SOAPpy Python module, but installing it is highly recommended.

in a way it is - in many other
ways it isnt if you look at
what this country (i.e. voters
like him) does and
has already done to real world politics.
Look at his homepage + "About Me". If this is all meant to be a joke I just dont get it. It's rather sad such
people exist, I'm afraid.

**** you. . .why don't you move to Singapore (or one of the many countries) where people are jailed for exercising their views if you feel you have a divine right to not be offended?
Oh wait, what am I saying?
This is the Internet.
You're probably there. ;)
Now that I'm done calling you on your BS, I'll wish you a happy and fun time at Woodstock 2006!

I think that this Karamba Theme is really, really funny...
It's a good idea to have a laugh about war on terrorism, isn't It?
But... Ehy! Take a look!... It's like WarGames Screenshot!!! :D

US Government is...
green: ...making up 'facts' to fool its own people
orange: ...preparing a new war
red: ...at war with a country
the good thing: you could even start a new one for every country, and get loads of flashy karamba themes on your desktop, all moving from green to red...
of course after a while you'd have to get more and more virtual desktops to store all those themes, but luckily kde gives you about twenty, which should provide you with enough space, at least for the next century(providing your screen resolution is somewhat decent)!
oh and maybe for the extra-fun: you can make an extra wolrd-freedom-democracy-and-peace-theme, that starts out red and gets greener the more war-themes you have (after all things are getting securer, right?). of course, if you dont get a new war-theme at least once every 6 months, it should definitely get redder again....

let me word your statement differently, i have difficulty understaning it (and please correct me if you intended it differently): a person, born in a certain area, may not speak up against crimes, commited by someone from a different area, if people from his area commited similar crimes in history? SENSE!?
oh and btw. thank you for allowing me an opinion of my own.

about resonsibility of nations, i do not think in terms of nations. to me the concept of drawing a line on a map, and defining people on one side to be like this and to differ from others in one or another way, is absolutely non-sense. please explain to me, in what manner i am responsible for nazi germany, do you see yourself as responsible (nationally responsible!?) for slave-trade, do you feel like you should say sorry to someone?
concerning the terror alert signs, you are right they themselves are not pro war, but they are one of many instruments used by the current us administration to instigate fear(and your dstribution of this tool, supports it - if you chose to do this conscious of this fact, it does make your partly responsible), which then is used as a major instrument in gaining support for wars.
and seriously does it make ANY differnece whatsoever to bill hick in preston county, west virginia whether your tool says yellow or red?
does it make a difference to you?

The point I wish to make is that this theme is harmless. Even if you disagree with the alert system, the theme can be used to point out how stupid it is, if you wish (it hasn't changed from elevated since I've authored it). However, it may be useful to local law enforcement agencies, Customs, Coast Guard, journalists, red cross workers, FEMA, hospitals, security firms, etc etc... The alert system was created mainly to alert goverment agencies that have a role to play when the level changes and to coordinate actions. They have certain procedures to follow... But even for the home user in West Virginia, surely having access to information, even information you think is bad, or stupid, can never be bad... The system is in place. What's wrong with a theme to display the current status for those who are interested? For those who are not, well, ignore it! To get rid of the system entirely, vote and appeal to your elected officials. The minute it is removed, this theme becomes irrelevant doesn't it?

I don't know why it was deleted. It should not have been.
But calling THIS crap would make everything else for Karamba/Superkaramba the same simply because you deem it so.
